Japan lends America a bunch of Japanese horror video games. The next morning, Japan goes to check on him, certain he's been completely terrified, when he sees America as a shibito. (Of course, just to scare Japan.)

China complains about his fellow nations to what seems to be a panda toy and ends with, "But the worst is Russia! He's planning to stab me in the back, no doubt about it!" Then said panda takes off its mask, revealing itself to be Russia in a costume, who exclaims, "How did you find out?"

"WHAT DID YOU DO TO PANDA?"

Russia making the famous 'Sit and you Die' chair explode by sitting on it and being more evil than it.

Germany "proposing" to Italy. With a tomato-shaped ring. While a shocked waiter looks on. And Italy looking like completely like a fish out of water. It had to be Hungary Lampshading the fact that it would be so damn hilarious that really turned the funny up to 11. That is all.

When England reluctantly appears at America's birthday party. The two share a somewhat dramatic, somewhat angsty discussion of how the day makes England sick. England hands over a gift bag and leaves. America opens it, commenting that it's probably an "old man" present. A boxing glove on a spring pops out and punches him smack in the face.

Also from the fourth manga volume: Hungary, Ukraine and Liechtenstein discuss national dresses. The last one is the famous Crete dress code that had the women exposing their breasts. Poor, poor Liechtenstein.

Even funnier if you notice the reference to FEMEN of Ukraine.

France (to Italy who has asked what intercourse means) "You don't know? It's something you do with someone you like. DO YOU LIKE ME, ITALY?" *cue creepy ass grin*

America attempting to treat England's cold with a hamburger to the face.

Italy ends up in a crate again after America and England get tired keeping him prisoner and send him back to Germany. With a card that says "FUCK" on it.

From Hetaween 2011, Romano giving a whole new meaning to the trope Badass Grandma.

There's a strip where Lithuania falls asleep on Russia's couch and wakes up to Russia who for once is in a mostly-sane mood and it shows that Russia is capable of kindness toward Lithuania. They talk about dreams, and Lithuania falls asleep again, only to wake up resting on the shoulder of a panda instead of Russia.

Japan's reaction in this strip to Italy trying to get him to smile. "What are you trying to make me do?!!"

Molassia from the Micronations mini-event. Normal and calm one minute, badass and cursing the next.

The book strip where England recalls how cute America was as a kid. Specifically, a memory in which England brings him a math textbook and young America tells him with a smile, "Dwop dead, Engwand!"

This is followed by a memory of England telling a young America that he's raising paint and newspaper taxes, while America cheerfully replies "Drop dead, England!" The strip then cuts back to present time, where America is poking England's face and saying "Drop dead, England!"

Made even funnier in the American travel book, where "Drop dead, England!" is instead translated to "Fuck you, UK!"

Episode 1: England's "Take this! BRITANNIA FORK!" has to be funniest line in this﻿ episode. Also, America stating that no one is allowed to disagree with his plan to stop global warming.

Episode 2: Germany hitting Italy with the butt of his rifle and saying "I won't be tricked! Go to hell, you damn pasta-loving bastard!" Also, him opening the door for Italy seeing if he wants to escape and Italy just flirts with girls and comes back.

"I'm a tomato box fairy! I'm here to be your friend!"

Episode 3: Italy's song for Germany in and not to mention how Germany sends Italy back in a package after hearing the song. Or how Germany is making clocks to pay back France and keeps saying how happy he is that he was able to get rid of "that guy" (Italy) and Italy floating past him in a weird manner.

Episode 4: Italy checking on his friend Japan when they're in a hot spring. After praising Japan's ability to turn everything into miniature models, he looks down and says "Oh, that too?" while in the hot spring. Japan is embarrassed at such remarks and beats the crap out of him.

Episode 5: Italy making preparations for being Germany's ally but he only brings pasta, pasta sauce and wine. The next time he makes preparations he brings the same things and Germany yells "It's the same!", and Italy responds with "No, this time it's better! This time I added pizza!" And then he asks Italy if he has anything else they can use and Italy says "I only have Machiavelli." Germany says "I'm sorry but we can't use him."

Italy making "preparations for war" by making white flags for him and Germany to wave meaning they surrender.

Germany, Italy and Japan are roasting marshmallows on the beach. In the background, soft piano music is playing. Germany talks about how he never wants to go home anymore now that Austria lives with him, and wonders how Austria is doing right now. Italy points out that Austria "has been right over there the whole time, you know." Pan to Austria... who is playing the piano music. "How did I not notice him!?!?!"

Episode 7: Romano's mustache. 'Nuff said.

Episode 8: Italy tells Germany over the phone "There was a pretty girl so I hit on her. But then, it was France in disguise!"

Episode 14: "Oh no! Now the Spanish and Greek have started to chat to each other!"

Episode 16: On the unintentional side of things, the "English" preview for America Cleans Out His Closet. Once this troper realized it wasn't in Japanese (hence the sudden lack of subtitles), she nearly popped a blood vessel in her eye. The line that took the cake, however, was undoubtedly. "I CAN HANDER IT."

Episode 19: From Italy's training regimen to Canada's introduction to Italy failing at spying at the Allies' table (while Canada is in the background acting nonchalant and silly).

Episode 21: Sealand talking with Lithuania on how to be acknowledged as a nation, random cut to Russia eavesdropping with one of the creepiest "=D" faces ever.

Poor Sealand probably could've picked somebody less terrifying to learn about being a nation from.

Lithuania: A big country like Russia could come in and make you forget EVERYTHING YOU THINK YOU ARE.

Episode 23: The Italy brothers getting in a fight, with N. Italy calling Germany for help, and Germany thinking that he's hearing something inappropriate on the other end of the line...

Germany: (Sounding frustrated and disappointed) So it was just hair?

Italy's line just before that and Romano's reaction to it too.

Italy: What's wrong? Germany and Japan never complained about sleeping with me?

Episode 26: England's drunken flailing and crying right in front of America. The next day, he's so ashamed, he wants to die and promises to give up drinking. That, and he has a huge hangover.

Episode 29: Russia jumping out of a plane without a parachute while screaming "VODKAAA!!!!" and saying that he'll be okay because there's snow on the ground and snow is soft. He ends up getting hurt.

America: "ICE CREEEEEEEEEEAM~" *trips on banana peel* *splat*

Made more funny by the fact that he somehow breaks his foot by falling on his face.

Episode 32: Italy woke up to Germany sleeping and was so ecstatic about waking up before him for once, he immediately calls Japan and there's this exchange.

Italy: Listen to this! I woke up earlier than Germany for once!

Japan: Are you serious?! We must celebrate this occasion with a dish of red bean rice!

Episode 37: Italy is worried that Germany might forget him and France tells him not to worry he just needs to drop his pants and show him his ass.

Even better? Italy actually goes and does it... Off screen, of course.

World Series episode 17: "Running Away With Su-san" was amusing enough, but then it got animated. From the sparkly, dating sim-esque title, to Finland's amazing scream at seeing Sweden's face inches from his (with Scare Chord!), to the climax, in which Sweden drapes his arm over Finland as the first movement of Beethoven's 5th Symphony plays.

"Warm now?"

"Terrfied now."

World Series episode 30: The G8 meeting. England glares at Russia. Russia simply grabs Englands glare-arrows and eats them like popcorn.

Belarus' allergic reaction to Kumajiro, who interrupts Canada to ask for a snack.

World Series episode 36: Japan's horrendously Yodel Land-esqueImagine Spot of Switzerland was funny enough in the manga, but the animated version must be seen to be believed.

TRA-LA-LA-LA-LA~

World Series episode 39: After Italy modifies a car, it shoots him into the sky and he screams "Ve!" the whole way. And then there's how Germany thinks Italy is gone forever when he just gets stuck in a tree.

World Series episode 42: Spain and France are about to engage in an epic battle over Romano. Just before France and Spain start fighting, Spain's pet bullheadbutts France, which makes Spain the winner of the battle.

World Series episode 43: This gem from Poland during his and Lithuania's first meeting:

The Beautiful World episode 3: specifically, Prussia playing broom-guitar and dancing and singing/cheering in the background while Austria talks to Germany. It's a brief scene, but it must be seen to be believed.

Hetalia Axis Powers Dub

Episode 1: From the English dub of the Meeting scene, we have gems like Switzerland saying, "MAN UP OR I'LL BEAT YOU WITH MY PEACE PRIZE!", and Germany explaining how to ask a question...

"Now, if you vant to go, make sure you're prepared und raise your hand, but do so in a vay that does not mock any salutes of my country's past."

Made even funnier when you realize that the Nobel Peace Prize is hosted by Norway.

Let's not forget this little gem:

China: Would you like to sample some Chinese tasty treats? :D

France and Britain: *not ending their fight* WE'D JUST GET HUNGRY AGAIN!!

"PASTAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!"

Episode 6:

England: Bring on the fire. Bring on the hell. Set everything ablaze so that no trace remains. Bring on the fire-

America: I feel like we're summoning the Devil!

Episode 7: America states about Germany "I bet he's deeply in love with Italy. He's probably chasing after good artwork or Italy's butt. What's so great about his butt? Really, I'm at a loss."

The first thing Romano ever says to Germany is, "Suck my balls, you damn potato-eater." Italy's cheery explanation is, "Since we were always governed separately, he had to spend more time with our big brother Spain, so he's become kind of a dick!"

Episode 8: After the UK uses Italy to capture Germany he interrogates Italy and Germany separately, and Italy exposed that Germany is pretty much a Covert Pervert.

Germany: Before I tell you, I've have somezing I vant to say. It goes a little somezing like zis: Lick mein balls!

Italy: Aaah! Why are you pointing a gun at me!? I've already told you I'll tell you everything I know, which is pretty much everything I know! Please don't shoot me, PLEASE!"

Germany: Do your vorst! Compared to my everyday life, your kind of torture vould be like bites from a mosquito!

Italy: Yeah, he's kind of a sadist; actually he's an intense super kind of sadist with a lot of hardcore books and DVDs! You can't guess what I've seen living with him! There was one video I saw that had dogs in it! He really likes tying people up too, and I'm sure you know what that means! Up until recently his government endorsed bestiality with all of its soldiers!

Flying Mint Bunny: I wanted to see you, Britain, so I flew right over!

Britain: This is great! All my magical friends at the same time! But let's have no murders this go around, okay? I'm serious, guys!

America: Hey, Britain! Can I talk to you for a second?

Britain: Hey! No fair chewing on my sleeve, Uni! I'm too ticklish, so stop the snuggling. You're naughty, Captain Hook, Tinkerbell's not big enough! Take that big, goofy kiss face to your little leprechaun friend, since he's the only one who cares! Kidding~ Seriously, you're all nutbugers! What am I to do with you! AHAHAHAHA!

Episode 12: Germany training Japan and Italy, while Britain is spying on them.

Germany: Britain vants you to acknowledge his bastard child as your own. Vhat do you do?

Britain: Hahaha. Stupid Germany. I'm SAS. When it comes to spying, no one is better than Britain! Cheers~ Ha! That was all too easy. Now I shall observe their top secret training.

Germany: Vhat do you do? Britain is slowly closing in on you, but he's dressed up for Carnival und swishing his hips!

Episode 13:

Britain: Why must you insist upon interrupting me all the time!? Do you have some kind of grudge against me!?

Russia: No! Uhhhhhh... Wait a second. Yes I do.

Britain: My grudge is more important than your grudge! I won't let you revengious interruptious! Now! The British curse of food and bad tea! *Japan is grilling something in the background but nothing happens*

Japan: I can't berieve this! Put some crothes on at once! Bare skin in pubric dishonors the ghost of your ancestor!

Italy: Aww~ But I'm hot and I'm Italian and all the chicks dig it! Why don't you get naked?

Japan: I couldn't possibry show a strange man my groin croth! I'm begging you to put some crothes on! I could see to your deviant need to sreep in bed compretery nude aready! I give up. Mr. Germany! You have to say something to him, prease!

Germany: Hm? Hey Japan. Can I vash your back?

Japan: No. It's crean. *Thinking* Nakedness in Western Curture wirr arso take some getting used to.

Episode 18: The Roman Empire rises out of the ocean... And proceeds to Rick Roll the Axis and Allies. Twice.

England: You don't know me! I'm United bloody Kingdom and I can held my locker better than you any day!

America: Dude, calm down!

England: Shut up! I felt bad about how the way old frog-face was treating you so I saved your ass. Thought maybe we could be friends and bond over our mutual hatred for France but uh-uh. YOU DON'T WANT TO BE FRIENDS WITH ME YOU JUST WANTED TO TELL ME NOT TO TELL YOU WHAT TO DO BUT YOU DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO ANYWAYS I THINK THAT'S TOTAL BOLLOCKS!

Episode 29: "I want a brother, or at least a pet sugar glider!" Courtesy of none other than Latvia.

Another line from Latvia:

Latvia: I'm glad everyone treated you well. We were all placing bets on whether they'd call you a drunkard or bring up Lake Placid and the Miracle on Ice!

Lithuania and Estonia: THAT HASN'T HAPPENED YET!!!

Episode 31:

Fat Christmas, I mean America.

America: "Dude, Christmas rocks! We know how to do it right here! First, we x-out the "Christ part to make it extreme! Then, we shop and eat stuff until we're sick! Want to shovel down some X-mas cake to get in the spirit?!

Christmas in Godless Russia.

Russia: "December 25th is just like any other day at my house, da? Our big winter celebration is called Epiphany. On January 7th when the wise men visited the baby Jesus. But instead of that story we teach kids a version of pagan beliefs using a guy called Dyed Moroz, or Father Frost, who preforms witch-craft if you make dolls of him.

Italy: "Wow, that's amazing!

Russia: "Tradition says that those dolls will start moving after 25 days.

That entire scene is hilarious, from Germany refusing to believe that the "weirdo" in his bedroom is Rome ("If it's zat kind of attitude, my only option is to shoot you in ze head!") to Germany trying to convince himself that the entire encounter is All Just a Dream, to Rome asking why Germany isn't sleeping with many beautiful women and getting a response of "I VILL PUNCH YOU IN ZE THROAT!"

Though he does only say that when Rome questions his heterosexuality. Not that that's an unfair assumption, considering where Italy was.

Rome: So tell me. what kind of a man doesn't have a women in bed with him every night? When I was your age, I had a plethora of a lovely ladies around me. Oh? Are you not into girls?

Germany: I VILL PUNCH YOU IN ZE SROAT!

Rome: Oh, come on now. Don't be so sensitive! No one here's a-judging! There's nothing wrong with playing for another team. And everyone likes to experiment a little, except me, of course.

Germany: You sound just like France...

Rome: Well, there's always a little bit of the self-love, is there not?

Germany: NO VAY!

Rome: OH!? You masturbate! Everyone a takes care of the business not and again! Masturbation is-a natural!

Germany: THAT"S DISGUSTING!

Rome: You must be a saint~

Episode 33: When Italy and Germany both wish upon a shooting star, Italy wishes for England to get a headache so he'll go home. After Italy goes to bed, Germany sees another shooting star. Looking embarrassed, he wishes for a rather long list of improvements to be made on Italy. He may have overdone it a little.

What's even funnier is that Italy's wish actually comes true: the shooting star flies into England and embeds itself in his head, giving him a massive headache and causing him to head home. Germany's requests sadly remain unfulfilled.

Germany: (accompanied by the sound of bones crunching) AUUUUUGH! GET OFF ME! AUUUUUUUGH! MEIN DEUTSCH BALLS!

Later, Italy's nervous delivery of his letter to Germany. Germany just looks like he's seen this kind of thing from Italy many times before and he still doesn't know how to deal with it.

Italy: (trembling and hiding behind a wall) H-Germany. Hello, my name is Giovali. I have something for you. I-I mean, my name is Italy, and— see, I, uh, wrote you a letter. I mean, not just—

Germany: (tiredly) Vhat's the matter, did you have a stroke?

Episode 38: After Italy hands Germany his very heartfelt letter about how he fears that Germany will forget about him because of a dream he had, Germany is visibly upset and tells Japan (who found the letter but couldn't make out the handwriting) that it was written by Italy and that something is troubling him. Japan looks shocked and gasps "Italy is literate?!?"

Italy to Germany: "Oh, how cool! I didn't know you were 'telepathetic'!"

"Germany, where did the pinky swear come from?" "Japan. Never ask him to elephant swear."

Episode 39: When Finland tries to tell about how there's a mysterious child wandering around the colonies in the New World, and France is more interested in the fact that he caught a fish with only his hands. France then goes on to suggest that the child is a new nation, but not before lamenting how the fish got away and fell back in the river.

France: Oh crap, my fish!

From that same episode, a little before:

Finland:[crying] Seriously, you guys, this isn't funny anymore. It's so mean and cruel and stupid!

France: *sigh* Tell us what happened, Finland.

England: Did you get your head stuck in the butter churn again?

Episode 40: France and Britain are attempting to convince Baby America to choose them as their guardian. After Britain makes an almightily creepy display of, "Come here, come over here, America. Don't you want to play with me forever and ever?" (complete with Blank White Eyes and the words "doom" rolling off him), America bursts into tears. France takes over and offers him food, which seems to be winning him over.

France: Now, come here. This wonderful French food is waiting for you to shove into your chubby screaming piehole!

Now cue Britain lamenting his lackluster countrymen and curling up in despair, quoting Macbeth of all things.

Britain: Out, damned spot, out I say...

Later in the episode, after Britain has won America over with his display of despair, he's seen singing America a lullaby... from The Phantom of the Opera. And it wasn't even to the same tune.

Britain: (Holding America to his chest) ...that voice which calls to me and speaks my name. And do I dream again, for now I find...

"Polish horses never charged German tanks at the battle-... Right. Anime fans, Germany invaded Poland in '39. Right. American fans, Poland is a country! In Europe! :D"

"I'm Canadia! T__T"

"Ve don't have to kiss, do ve?" "Nope! ...Unless you want to."

Cafe Spain

The guy he's serving just got dumped by his girlfriend and, since Spain can't sense the mood, he acts cheerful through the whole thing, even though the guy looks like he's about to cry.

Spain: Oh, wow! Are you really a customer, mister? Yes! You are one! Sorry, it's been a long time! I'm so glad! *Pats back* let me touch your back!

Guy: ...

Spain: You know, because of the bad economy nothing's really been happening,

Guy: Ngt...

Spain: ...but things are looking up now!

Guy: Ngt...

Spain: Oh yeah! I made this shirt after our king told Venezuelan to shut up! Isn't that just awesome!? I'm telling you man! It's like the real people! *Guy puts on the shirt* Wow! It looks so good on you!

Guy: Unn...

Spain: I want to send on of these shirts to Venezuelan, too. You look so cool that I definitely want to go on a date with you, I mean, if I were a girl!

Guy: Ngt..

Spain: Now, coffee! I'll go get you some for you! Just sit tight, okay?

Guy: *Sniffle*

Spain: Oh! Well, this is embarrassing! Since I haven't had many customers, I've only got instant coffee!

Guy: Life...is meaningless...

"My boss and Italy's boss, both fabulous dancers and narcissists..."

Romano's reaction to Russia touching Italy: "Touch of death!"

"Before we go on to the history lesson, instead of saying one joke, I'll tell you two punchlines!"

France: It's something you do with someone you love... or, you could just pretend to love them.

World Series episode 9: Italy's reckless driving. He even drives through a field with his eyes closed, claiming, "I can even close my eyes and let your screams guide me!" No wonder Japan is a shivering, traumatized mess at the end of it.

Italy: He's right! But we better get out of here, 'cause Godzilla's coming! Come on! Run!

Japan: Gojira!? Mister Germany, sank you (Bows) Where did you see him? Was he big?

World Series episode 12: The narrator's imitation of Prussia.

Narrator: "Hey, you got chick for queen so I'm gon' force you give me some of you land and mebbe stick you head up you own butt. I'm auwesome!"

In the same episode, Prussia's letter to Maria Theresa.

"Hello little girl. I am Prussia and you are NOT. My awesomeness is exploding at an alarming rate even for someone as awesome as the great Prussia! Anyway, super happy la-la to you and your inauguration, but I'm afraid ve consider it no more zan dried squirrel poop. Perhaps ve'll leave you alone if you give us Austria's Salesia region. It's pronounced Salesia, right? I'll suffice, we'll attack you with awesomeness und ve'll obviously destroy you! From Prussia wiz love. P.S. I'M AWESOME!"

He asks, "It's pronounced Salesia, right?" In the letter itself.

And, despite it being an invasion notice, it ends with "From Prussia with love".

Prussia's soliloquy before squaring off against Austria.

"Suck it, losers! Zat queen wants to fight no matter vhat, huh? Austria will have to be content with being my snack before my vorld domination meal! Zis so-called army that Austria has put together vould make my grandmother laugh like this: 'ah ha ha ha!' You've grown so-oft, and now is ze time for Prussia to RISE LIKE A MAGIC JACK-IN-THE-BOX VOYEUR DEMON! Look at my soldiers and their mean faces! I taught zem zat face! I can't vait to see you veep like a baby girl-man-boy. Hee hee hee hee hee!"

World Series episode 16: France and Spain run into each other when they're both following Chibi Romano home. A custody battle ensues. Of course, when Chibi Romano catches wind of this, he bolts.

Chibi Romano: Spain is such a freak! I can't believe he was following me! What is this, the Inquisition?

Soldier: Vha? (Runs over to a group of people) Guys! Ve are in trouble! Germany just told me he didn't vant BEER!

Everyone: (collective gasp) Vhat? (talking among themselves) Das ist schlecht! note meaning "This is bad!" in German This is serious! This vorld is coming to an end!

Now enter Prussia:

Prussia: Calm down, fweaks! He und I share the same awesome blood, vhich is made of beer! Zere's no vay he turned it down! I'll check on him und show you. Vatch und see, losers *winks* (Approaches Germany with a glass of beer in hand, with his pet bird flying around his head) Hey, brouhas! Rumor has it you're not drinking beer! Vhat's zat about? Ahahahaha! Did someone sreaten you? How fun!

Germany: (looking away) Don't take it personal, but could you please stay avay from me viz that?

Prussia: Gasp! But today's beer is better zan it normally is! Come on! You at least have to have a taste!

Germany: No, please. I can't even look at it— please, just— go avay!

Prussia: Tuh! (hovering around Germany) How can you turn down a perfectly good beer? Beer! BEER! (Tapping Germany on the head with the beer glass) Don't try to deny it— no, it's beer. Your favorite zing in the whole vorld! Okay, stop it. Now you're really starting to freak me out. I-I c-can't... If you don't drink any, I'll have to make a new rule! One zat vill have you running srough ze streets naked! ...I can't believe that didn't work on you. You— you hate all zings that are nude-y und fun...

Germany: Go avay. Just leave me alone—

Prussia (Spitting out his beer and spraying Germany) GERMANY'S REFUSING TO DRINK BEER! Ahahaha hahaha! Aha.. oh my God... (Cut to a shot of a fresh bandage on Prussia's forehead with a fuming Germany in the background) You know, part of why I'm so awesome is because I drink beer. Ze awesome taste of zis stuff almost brings awesome tears to my awesome eyes. Yes, it's so true. I love it. It's so salty zough.

World Series episode 30: Cat!Japan after the tuna shortage.

Cat!Japan: Oh, sank Buddha I was abre to stop that ridicurous ban on dearing canned tuna.

Japan: Tama! Time a to eat-O!

Cat!Japan: Oh? Is it ah dinner time arready?

Japan: Today, I have a bit of a treat for you. Sarty tuna sashimi.

Cat!Japan: Yes. Tuna is a good for the soar. Tuna tuna, dericious tuna. I don't normarry rike to meow, but at a time rike this, I can't herp myserf. (Outloud) I ruv tuna, meow!

Japan: Wait, did he talk!?

World Series episode 31:

China: I finally return~

Boss: Ah. It took you long enough. I was starting to get worried. You have my thanks for such a hard journey. Okay! Let's get to all the stuff you brought back for me.

China: *Bows* Alright. Gifts from the ends of the Earth! And some are from even farther because we got lost whenever captain was drinking heavily. First gift: It's a leopard!

England: Damn you stupid macaroni brothers! You can't keep me locked up like this! I'm an Englishman! You better let me out right now, or I swear I'll make documentaries for your stupid radios! You hear me? DOCUMENTARIES!

Meanwhile, the Italy brothers are arguing with each other, completely ignoring England.

Romano: You're the one who caught him, dumbass, so you're the one who gets to take care of him.

Italy: What?! There's no way I can do it alone! You have to help me!

Romano: You are so stupid! Next time you want to catch someone, make sure you actually want to, buttcrotch!

Italy: What was I supposed to do?! He was trapped in a hole someone dug in front of my house! It's the only way I could ever win a fair fight!

England tunnels out of his cell while the Italys are distracted (and eventually out cold) with their argument.

England:* *Sexy face* I'm so hot, I could kiss myself.

...Only for Germany to catch him three seconds later. The narrator explains this by saying, "They say British soldiers who escaped in Italy were easy to spot, probably because they weren't Italian and they didn't speak Italian. Also, they didn't smell like garlic."

World Series episode 33: After Germany catches England escaping the first time, he begins to lecture Italy and Romano about how he has to train them some more. While he tells them this, in a completely serious voice, Italy is sobbing loudly and Romano is screaming while punching him. Germany breaks off mid-sentence to shout at them "AND VILL YOU SHUT UP WHILE I'M TALKING TO YOU?" Then England escapes for the second time while his captors are being distracted by a lecture.

England: (With mice on his head) That's no good at all. My clothes look like I just dug a tunnel with my hands, teeth, and the help of some friendly mice.

Guy: (Offscreen) Britain, is that you?

England: Huh? Show yourself! But be warned, if you try and stop my escape, you'll get a sound thrashing!

Guy: (Appearing from behind a wall) A thrashing for free? That sounds jolly! Can you see me? (Waves) I'm from Aberdeen, Scotland! (A fanfare plays) I'm studying espionage here in Rome with a minor in 14th-century homicide! They like to call me Oliver—

England: Kinda feels nice for a change. I might even start getting drunk at noon and flatulating publicly... Ah, this is the life. It's so much more fun than arguing about the next cricket roster for the ICC World Cup while drinking warm beer around ugly women. Seriously.

World Series episode 34: England is trying to escape from Italy again. He seems quite confident, since he just got some unintentional advice from Germany ("I got it now! Thanks for all the information, sucker!" "BRITAINNNN!"), and then he orders something stereotypically British from a cafe. The moment he orders ale, Germany jumps at him and wraps the guy's head with the newspaper he was hidden behind.

World Series episode 38: The Axis meal-paying song. "And the Italian was thinking about how to appropriately say thank you to the sucker who ended up paying for his entire meal", indeed. Watch it here or here

The narrator explains this phenomenon as, "In the 11th Century—I know, "snore"—but this involves fashion and crossdressing so it's like history but fun! In the 11th Century, dudes started dressing like girls, in long fluttering tunics that the intellectuals hated because they set the nethers free, if you catch my drift. Due to the Norman Conquest anything cool in France would end up in Britain where it got twisted into something somehow less fashionable but more gay. ^_^"

Further demonstrating his slavery to French fashion, England spies on France's people to find the latest fashion trends. What does he find himself face-to-face with? The cockpiece!

Narrator: Basically, what we got here is a pocket that doubles as a giant fake penis. Hooray fashion! I am personally daring anyone to bring that one back.

On a different note, Chibi Romano gives Spain a rusty old sword. Spain's reaction? Panting with his tongue out like a dog.

World Series episode 45: China and America are shipwrecked on an island. Stereotypes abound.

China reacts to America lifting up his shirt and having junk food pour out: "SPOM, AND SNACKERS?! Why were you only carrying piglets and sugar bar? This is great. We'll die of type II diabetes before we ever starve to death."

"Unfortunately, if we don't find shelter before a storm blows in, we could die of exposure or be forced to share our body heat. This is a matter of gay or death."

This exchange:

China: If you not pay attention to what you eat, you die alone fat in front of TV.

America: (cheerfully) That's right, but I like it that way! How else am I supposed to numb myself to my impending financial self-destruction?

America: Hey, don't ya think if I put a crappy hotel here, I could make a ton of easy cash off of tourists?

China: That's great idea! You could build a hotel and I could supply you with political pris— I mean, cheap labor!

World Series episode 46: The translator explains baseball to Japan as, "It's some kind of game. You need a stick, a ball, and steroids."

World Series episode 47: America reads off his boss's demands to Japan. It includes "an area where Americans can walk freely and, uh, do some shopping and possibly get a nice haircut" and ends with, "They should be treated like royalty at all times because if you don't, they can get very loud and scary, which is really just another way of saying 'raining death upon your peaceful island nation'." Japan looks devastated. Japan's translator peeps out from behind the screen door and says, "Punch him, now! Come on! One-punch!"

"Simple things, like... teaching them the secret to looking good in a kimono, unilateral most-favored nation treatment towards Americans, and calling them random superhero names."

Especially the little kids at the end! "My name is __ and this is the worst word I know:" The words are: stupid, cupcake, cookies, suck (sucker!), butt, and shit. ("Say wha?" "I coulda said a worse word. Ass.")

"You fell. I laugh. Ho ho."

"My voice! I'm going through PUBERTY, BABY!"

"But even if he is a Michael Tatum, he's still a person!" Immediately afterward, we hear Tatum's reaction edited in.

Christopher Bevins (Japan) screaming "FUCK!" while still in character.

Japan and America mess up one right after the other, in the same scene. The bloopers are edited together.

(Vic as) Greece is not even trying to be subtle about wanting in Japan's kimono.

Japan's reactions whenever Greece does this. In comparison to the manga, where they're practically dating, and the sub, where his feelings are more ambiguous, dub Japan hits the perfect combination of mild disgust and acceptance that Greece is just "that" kind of friend.

Spain: You're missing the jewels comPLETELY!...[Thinking] No. He got 'em with that last one. The pain is going to start flooding in any second now.......there it is. Why the delay, I wonder? And why is Romano so upset with me? He must have found out I wanted to trade him. As soon as I can move again, I'll apologize.

When Spain goes to "support" Romano after the latter finds out that there's no pasta or tomatoes to eat, and we see one of the few times where Romano is genuinely happy to see Spain instead of the verbal abuse he usually throws at him. And Spain's support? A cheering up magic spell in which he outstretches his arms and says three times: "Spell! Spell! Spell!" And the usually mouthy Romano? He's stunned into silence.

For an episode of World Series, Todd Haberkorn was announced absent at the last minute so they got Eric Vale to come in to do an "impression" of Todd (though he sounds more like Vic Mignogna) and Jamie Marchi and Christopher Bevins simply riffed on him with amusing questions!

Eric!Todd: Well, I think of how Vic Mignogna would do it, and then do the complete opposite!

World Series 46 involves J. Michael Tatum and the ADR director going into a rapid discussion about cod pieces.

In one of the commentaries, Eric Vale admits that Hetalia has made him start eating hamburgers again after years of being a vegatarian.

Eric said that he got the voice of America as such

Eric Vale: I think because of my personality I usually end up playing douchebags, and then everyone calls it 'typecasting'.

America: (shoves Russia's head down and talks over him) Bro, enough of that! Start asking questions about my daring dudes already! We do cool crap 380 days a year! You can quote me on that. What the— WAUGH! (Russia's prehensile scarf wraps around him) The Cold War's over, dude, cut it out!

The Gastronauts.

Italy: Awww! I wanted to be a Gastronaut, but you guys wouldn't let me!

France: Because, watching you drown everything in tomato sauce would be the death of me.

[commence a Team Rocket-esque sequence where each character spins into a pose]

Turkey: Roasting pigs on my food!

France: Paying too much for cheese!

China: Putting rare animal on menu!

All: Gastronaut powers activate!

Hellfire Club. Don't let the name fool you.

England: But what sort of coven would we be if we blabbed our secrets to every stringer who came a-knocking? So, if you truly are dead set on talking to me, bend this spoon with the power of your mind and I guess I can allow.

Ukraine: I am sorry. My big boobies make my back hurt so I didn't think I could perform well.

Romano had his memetic "WHAT THE CRAPOLA HAPPENED HERE?! And where is my stupid brother, anyway?" before getting turned into a Pictonian.

His shout of "ASSHOLES!" that immediately follows him being turned into a Pictonian. Looks like there are some people that they can't completely take over.

Greece's sole line before getting turned is "I love cats. Is that so wrong?" Made better by the fact that this line is completely random and he is surrounded by about a dozen cats as it is delivered.

Poland happily greeting his pony only to be taken aback by its lack of eyes (due to it being pictified).

Finland's adorable little "Ho ho ho!" moments after he gets turned.

The fact that the Pictonians cannot attack Switzerland and Liechtenstein because of Switzerland's neutrality (which manifests itself as a giant force-field over his country) is both funny andawesome at the same time.

There's something adorably funny about the opening scene with Iceland sitting there with his puffin perched on his head for no apparent reason.

When France and England are caught on the Pictonian's mothership, and England correctly predicts that there is a way to escape. Cure a rope falling from the top of the screen for no reason at all, which England doesn't find the least bit odd. And then, when he pulls it, they fall down a trap door.

Especially how J. Michael Tatum (who really doesn't like the series) keeps interrupting himself, mid-rant, to laugh about how he'll never be able to leave the recording studio again, lest the people outside kick his ass for what he's been saying.

Jamie Marchi: You know if JK Rowling ever heard this and then you two met, she's probably fight you.

J. Michael Tatum: If JK Rowling and I get into a fight, guess who's gonna fucking win!

Speaking of the commentaries, there's also the discussion Eric Vale, Jerry Jewell, and Jamie Marchi have about childhood experiences jumping off of roofs. Jamie tells about how she jumped off of the roof of her house to prove that she was One Of The Guys. Eric jumped in an attempt to fly like Superman, even tying a bedsheet to himself, like a cape (to which he was told "at least you had something to mop up the blood with"). Jerry leaped off of some playground equipment and landed in such a way that his foot broke in half, leading to the others joking that he was down to six inches and only had a "fo" left.

Germany: I think I heard a few disturbing words in that last sentence...but I'll pretend I didn't hear it.

America: *screaming in the distance*

Denmark: You hear a bird just now?

Norway: That's a bird, all right.

Germany: How did you get a bird from that?

When they find America..

Germany: What happened to you America?

America: England you IDIOOOOTTTT!!!!

Germany: I think I can imagine what happened now...

Japan: Indeed.

America: *still screaming/sobbing in distress* Why did this happen!? This is WRONG! This is just plain WRONG!!

Japan: *in a soothing tone* Now, now...Look! Here's some candy that old ladies always carry with them, but you don't know where they buy them from!

America: *takes candy* Eh, oh... Yeah, where do they buy this stuff..?

Japan: Have you calmed down now, America?

America: Y-yeah... A little...

Germany: What kind of comforting method was that...?

Japan: Tis a technique native only to Japan!

Hetalia Fantasia 3:

China briefly being distracted from telling the other Allies that Canada has been kidnapped to ponder if he is 4000 or 5000 years old.

This exchange:

America: What happened was blah-blah-blah yadda-yadda-yadda!

France: Wh-what was that?!

England: No way! That actually happened?!

Russia: What does "blah-blah-blah yadda-yadda-yadda" mean?

England: Get a clue, Russia! When America and Japan got in touch with this weirdo player online, not only was he incredibly strong, delusional and emo, but he kicked the ever living crap out of the already strong America and Japan! That's what he said!

America: If you say all of that, then what the hell was the point of me saying "blah-blah-blah yadda-yadda-yadda" to save time?!

The ending. France is upset he can't submit his love poems to the newspaper, so he spends the next two hours reciting them, presumebly forcing Canada to listen to them.

Other

Arguably, some of the eyecatches (not so much in the dub), especially those for more minor characters. Some examples: Ukraine either sounds squeaky or like she's about to burst into tears, Belarus is apparently a demon, Canada is whispering, Prussia is shouting, the Baltic Trio shows up together sounding like they've got guns pointed at their heads, and Iceland pops up three times consecutively in the movie, with his puffin, no less.

Anytime Italy gets out his white flag and waves it because it means he surrenders.
